Archives are a great way to research topics of interest pertaining to historical events and people of interest from the past. Depending on how extensive the archives are, they can truly help any aspiring researcher or historian to discover a new angle or new story within the countless archives and microfiches. Some archives do not possess variety. Some do. Some even have excellent and varied online access.

They also include basic records. Some of these basic records are CMSRs or Compiled Military Service Records; they have pension records, even a record of events. They also give the direct address to find archives only available in person. "You may do research in Civil War military service and pension files in person at the National Archives Building, 700 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20408-0001" (Archives.gov, 2015).
As mentioned earlier, there are some sections of cross-referencing. The webpage displayed embedded links as well as mentioning other websites. They also provided additional references, a list of references and other publications.
2 The way things are organized, the website splits into various sections. The initial page has topics and then has links for those topics. If things resources are not available online, the website states where to get the archives and how to get them. They layout appears easy to navigate with few interruptions in terms of confusion or not understanding where things are or lead to. The website also hosts a "top of page" feature. This feature allows the person to go all the way to the top for easy navigation.

But we could also say that deaths caused by illegal drugs are not even close to those caused by cigarette smoking. We discussed the fact that in 1997, about sixteen thousand American died as a result of illegal and illicit drug use. In comparison, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that smoking related deaths worldwide will reach 10 million per year by 2030! And we know that 40,000-50,000 people

"The poisonous and radioactive uranium is most dangerous when inhaled into the body, where it will release radiation during the life of the person who inhaled it" (Eco pp).

The management of large organizations is a very crucial issue, whether they are government-related or not (Argyris, 1993; Argyris & Schon, 1978; Broom, Jackson, Harris, & Vogelsang-Coombs, n.d.; Brown & Brudney, 2003; Hatry, 1999; Haynes, 1999).

Would observational field research efforts contribute data for your course research project? Field research could be conducted in a specific context where military drones are used. Here, the research could directly observe the manner in which drones are used and could make count of the proportion between causalities and roadside bombings through that duration. b. Where would you conduct the observational field research? For the present research, this could best be accomplished
